Great songwriting, good vibes – a kind of careful fusion of pop-rock energy, synthpop brightness, and intimate, even delicate singer-songwriter warmth. Peter DiMaggio impresses and connects, with the unique and modest but timeless Fly Away.
Featuring a fine use of instrumental call and response, the production builds up beautifully after each vocal phrase. This creates a colourful dynamic, and that’s furthered by Peter’s use of structuring overall – the rise to the chorus, the near-falsetto peaks, and the sense of wonder intertwined with this consistent humility and heart.
It all rings loudly but not, providing a genuinely original but also comfortingly familiar sound, and a song that’s unpredictable but interesting as it rolls through the various musings of its storyline.
Emerging complete with a rather stunning old-school balance of live visuals and grittier emotional scenes, Fly Away is fantastic, a genuinely distinct sound and style, from an established artist and all-round creative individual with a noteworthy degree of presence in modern music.
